I really hope me posting the memes the past couple days hasn't been a problem. I don't want to spam. I just have over a thousand images saved on my phone. Combine that with the fact that I've been having a rough couple weeks and just looking to make others laugh so I can make myself smile.

Hope you all have a great day either way. Peace and long life. 🖖

      Well I hope I don't manage to make it so. There's a reason I'm spacing out posts by a couple hours. Last thing I want to do is overstay a welcome in the only place that feels "safe". Been a fucky month.

      Thanks though dude. I really do appreciate it.

        Stamets, I want you to hook your spore drive up to your memes and give this bucket of bolts full power. We’re gonna hit warp 10 up in here.

          Last time I tried that I blew out all the EPS conduits. I've already nearly bled out in a Jefferies helping fix a rupture in the plasma manifolds. Last thing I wanna do is have that happen again. Or, God forbid, end up ripping the saucer section apart. Vent too much of the mycelial energy to the saucer turbines. Next thing we know the ring is spinning at mach jesus, attempting to reach cavitation of the mycellial network with all the excess energy, and ends up punching a hole in the network.

          Also there's a Kasellian opera I promised someone that we'd go too. If we hook up the spore drive then it's gonna take 8-10 hours to recharge from our onboard stash of prototaxites stellaviatori. However I've already got the tickets and there's no refund.


          I knew when I chose the username Stamets I would end up embarrassing myself.

      Star Trek is the only reason I haven't killed myself. I get it. Posting these memes is also the only thing getting me through what I can only describe as a personal hell. I get it. Star Trek really does allow you escape and be happy in ways that one might not expect. I can only be happier still that I'm able to help out someone else dealing with this shit.

    Stamets: Put mushrooms in it. It made it work better, but Reno made fun of him anyway.

    Billups: Took 30 years just to spend extra time away from his mother's royal consorts.

    Jankom Pog: What, you think Trip acted alone?

      It does blow my mind that we've NEVER seen main engineering in Discovery. Or anything from engineering really. Stamets lab is "Engineering Test Bay Alpha" but that's as close as we've gotten. I mean Stamets isn't even an engineer, he's in science division, yet they have him doing engineering more than anyone else.

      I love my little overworked gayboy. He's my spirit animal.

    Trip could squeeze an extra warp speed out of an engine by wrapping the coils in baling wire then spitting on it
